Tip

When setting up a website application, if the browser selected in the configuration is not installed in advance, the default browser of your OS will be used.

Right clicking an icon will make several options available to you, depending on whether the app is local or from Catalog:

Icon	Name	Description
	Favorite	Adds the application to your favorite applications filter in the Side Menu.
	Edit	Opens the Edit link dialog box, where you can edit the details of a personal app.
	Autolaunch	Enables Autolaunch for a managed app, and adds it to the Autolaunch filter in the Side Menu. This feature is enabled by default for the Liquit Launcher. If it's not working for the web interface, you must contact your system administrator to configure it for you.
	Rename	Enables you to change the display name of the managed app.
	Catalog Information	Displays catalog information about the managed app. See Catalog for more details.
	Repair	It is displayed only after you click on an icon that implies executing an action on your device, e.g. copying files or launching an .exe file. It will not be displayed for apps that open in the browser. Depending on how your system administrator configured it in the backend, the main purpose of this option is to run repair actions for an app; for example if an app is not functioning properly.
	Report problem	Opens the Report problem with Liquit help dialog box, where you can report any problem regarding the managed app to your system administrator.
	Remove	Allows you to remove the application from Workspace. A managed app will be moved back to the Catalog, while a personal app will be permanently deleted.
